River, Miles, and Matilda still stood where they were. At this moment, the three of them had wine glasses in their hands, watching the situation like spectators.
What Luis said made all three of them show mocking expressions.
River said, “So generous. People who don’t know everything will think she’s his real granddaughter.”
Miles smiled contemptuously, and said, “There’s nothing unusual about this kind of speculation.”
Kate was naturally not Luis’ biological granddaughter.
However, that didn’t mean she can’t have Luis’ child.
Matilda laughed lowly, “Aren’t you two too bad?”
River shook his wine glass and looked at Matilda’s innocent eyes.
He said, “Miss Duncan, you are very kind.”
The reason why they said that was because they had known some secrets. Otherwise, how could they talk about it without evidence?
Matilda’s face darkened, and she could certainly know the meaning behind his words.
If the three of them were not in the same camp now, Matilda would definitely have a verbal battle with River.
Glancing at River, Matilda looked towards the stage. Luis had finished his flattering introduction to Kate, and now he was getting off the stage with Kate.
Some people had begun to talk to Luis and Kate falsely.
Today, Luis made such a big scene and came to brag for Kate, and the guests would naturally cooperate.
River lost his patience. He had already grasped the information he should get on this trip, so he didn’t have much patience to stay here any longer.
He looked at Miles and asked, “Let’s go?”
Miles raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard this, and said, “Let’s go.”
Matilda looked at Miles, then at River, and suddenly frowned, feeling disgusted and surprised at the same time.
Miles immediately knew that she was thinking wrong. He raised his hand helplessly and flicked Matilda’s forehead, saying, “Let’s go. Do you still want to stay and drink?”
Matilda was speechless.
Angrily glaring at Miles, Matilda was the first to walk towards the door with her dress lifted.
She didn’t bother to greet Luis or Kate, and River and Miles didn’t even think about it. The three of them just left in such a bold manner. That gesture didn’t give the host any face at all.
Kate had been talking with everyone. And she had been paying attention to Miles and the others from the corner of her eyes.
Seeing that they were leaving now, she immediately became anxious.
How could she let them go so easily?
The reason why there was such a big scene today was that, on the one hand, the two things announced were true. And on the other hand, it was specially arranged so that she could get closer to Miles in the future.
Who would have thought that Miles brought Matilda over here, which obviously proved that she was wrong.
Kate bit inside her cheek angrily. At this moment, she wished she could rush over and strangle Matilda to death.
She really wanted to do this, but the moment she raised her foot, she heard Luis cough. Then, she instantly stopped what she intended to do.
Kate just watched Matilda and Miles leave like this, so angry that she couldn’t hold back her expression.
As the three walked to their respective cars, River said, “Would you like to have a drink?”
Miles gave a low laugh, and said, “River, your invitation is trying to misunderstand me that you came here specially for me.”
Matilda was listening, and she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Wasn’t that what she thought just now? But, because of Miles, she didn’t say it directly.
Unexpectedly, Miles said it himself.
Miles heard Matilda’s laughter, and was really annoyed and helpless that she couldn’t take his feelings into consideration.
River looked at Miles with interest, and then his eyes fell on Matilda’s face again.
He said, “For you, not really. As for whom, Miles, you should know.”
Miles’ eyes narrowed suddenly, looking at River dangerously.
Did he like Matilda?
Can he bear it?
Miles said, “If this is the case, I don’t think there is any need to go for a drink with you.”
After speaking, Miles pushed Matilda into the car without any hesitation, and said to River in an arrogant tone, “River, we’ll go first.”
River just watched Miles and Matilda’s car leave, gritted his teeth, dumbfounded.
He had never known before that Miles was so childish.
He opened the car door and got in. The driver in front asked River where he was going.
River was so angry that he laughed out loud. Looking up at the driver, he said, “Go home.”
On the other side, Matilda tilted her head and looked at Miles, saying, “Explain it.”
She didn’t think that Miles just took her here as a companion on a whim, but believed even more that this was a premeditated plan by Miles.
It was included that Miles didn’t show Luis respect. It wouldn’t be as simple as being irritated by Luis.
Thinking of this, Matilda looked at Miles very intriguingly.
Her eyes looked threatening, as if to say: if Miles didn’t explain this clearly, then it will never end.
Miles touched his nose and said, “Actually, there are some things, if you know too much, it may not be good for you.”
Matilda was very angry at what Miles said. She chuckled lightly, and said, “Okay, Mr. Hayden, you think I’m a fool, don’t you? Since you don’t want to say, I’ll check it myself.”
After being touched by the way Miles protected her, at this moment, Matilda seemed to be furious again.
She turned her head away and didn’t pay any attention to Miles. After the car reached the urban area, she asked the driver to pull over the car. Regardless of what Miles said, she got out of the car, hailed a taxi, and left by herself.
Miles squeezed the space between his brows. Why was she so angry?
He sat back in the car again. Without any hesitation, he said directly to the driver, “Follow her.”
Even though he knew Matilda’s skills, Miles was still worried. He had to see her reach the destination safely before he could rest assured.
Matilda knew that there was a car following her all the time, and she was so angry that she wanted to drive faster and get rid of Miles.
However, she knew that even if the taxi driver had good skills, this taxi will limit his performance, so she can only give up.
She just let Miles follow behind her. Until she got home, the car stopped. Matilda got out of the taxi, and walked into the gate without looking back, but Miles grabbed her arm.
Matilda turned her head. She didn’t struggle or get angry.
She just looked at Miles like this, and said with a smile, “What? What do you want to say?”
